Paul Davis professionals are highly qualified to eliminate water from cellars, sanitize and preserve your possessions, and dry everything fast to lessen the damage. We don't stop until we verify that the task is done.

Issues from Sewer Backups

Sewer flooding is not just gross, it's dangerous. Grey or black water contamination spreads microbes that may result in infection. Backup caused by sewer blockages can be considered a crisis and be dealt with right away. Trained Paul Davis technicians inspect and eliminate the damage from the source and any standing water damage may have occurred. Our tools and years of training can fix the problem with efficiency and speed.

Busted Pipes & Appliance Leaks

If your faucet, bathtub, water heater or any other appliance floods, the outcome can range from annoying to devastating. Standing water on the floor can drain into the foundation, collecting in out of reach places. You then cause floor damage and invite a mold infestation. If your water damage starts from toilet or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk spreading pathogens. Have a professional investigate the area to avoid larger expenses down the road.

Water after Fire Damage

It's terrible enough for your property to take on fire damage, but it's worse to be stuck with water damage in the days after the blaze. In the steps of killing a home fire, your property may be left soaked. Such a one-two punch of home damage can leave your area devastated. Paul Davis has the training to eliminate any fire or water damage remaining.
